Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite at Old Ellerby, 600m south of Ellerby Grange is a Second World War defensive installation located in Yorkshire. The site comprises the remains of a heavy anti-aircraft gun emplacement, constructed during the period of intense aerial threat to northern England in the early 1940s.
